The patches of the 505 II consist of seven serially linked effect
modules, as shown in the illustration below. (The maximum number of
effects that can be used simultaneously is 9.) You can use all effect
modules or selectively set certain modules to on or off.
For some effect modules, you can select
an effect type from several possible
choices. For example, the MOD module
comprises CHORUS, FLANGER,
TREMOLO, and other effect types. The
DLY/REV module comprises DELAY,
HALL, ROOM, etc.
Starting on the next page, all effect types in all effect modules are
listed, together with their parameters.
How to read the listing
MOD
MOD module basic parameters
CHORUS (Chorus)
This effect mixes a variable pitch-shifted component to the original signal,
resulting in full-bodied and expansive sound. Higher setting values result in a
This effect module comprises effects such as chorus,
flanger, and tremolo. Use the [+]/[-] keys to select the
effect type and adjust the effect intensity.
SLOW ATTACK > PITCH SHIFT (Slow Attack > Pitch Shift)
This effect type is a serial connection of slow attack and pitch shifter.
Higher right-digit setting values result in slower attack rate. (The pitch
shifter is fixed to the 1 octave up setting.)
PEDAL SLOW ATTACK (Pedal Slow Attack)
Using the expression pedal (FP01/FP02) connected to the
CONTROL IN jack, the attack rate can be adjusted.
OFF (Off)
Turns the MOD module off.

that module and parameter.
Display
The display example shown at the left side of
the effect parameter listing shows the setting
that can be adjusted with the [+]/[-] keys.
Which setting this is depends on the module.
Module on/off
For every effect module,
the last basic parameter
setting is " ". When this
is selected, the respective
module is turned off,
which means that it will
not affect the sound output
by the 505 II. (The effect
is the same as when both
[ ]/[ ] foot switches are
pressed together in edit
mode.)

Expression pedal
A pedal icon ( ) in the listing indicates a parameter that can be controlled
with the expression pedal (FP01/FP02).
When such a parameter is selected, the respective module can be controlled in
real time with a connected expression pedal.
Except for pedal wah, when a parameter marked with a pedal
icon is selected, the sound will correspond to the representative
setting of that effect.
If there is no parameter marked with a pedal icon selected in the entire patch,
the expression pedal operates as a volume pedal.

The COMP module and MOD module allow you to choose two effect
types simultaneously, such as COMPRESSOR > AUTO WAH or
DOUBLING > CHORUS.
